Murray returns as Spurs level Heat on the road, 122-103.

The Spurs just can't lose and joyously welcomed Dejounte Murray back onto the court and into command, giving Fred VanVleet deserved reprieve for admirable relief point guard duties during Murray's absence. Dejounte came back with a fury, smashing a dunk that showed he was good to go, finishing with 25 points, 5 assists & 5 steals.

 Brandon Ingram welcomed his partner in crime back, scoring 23 points. VanVleet had 18 points, hitting six threes with primary ball-handling duties in the rear view. Andre Drummond had 17 points & 15 rebounds, swatting 3 blocks. KCP chipped in 15 points.

All this led to a 38-26 advantage early, then the Spurs blew open the 2nd Quarter: 29-17, the halftime score 67-43. Miami fought harder out the gate, but still lost the third, 34-32 to cap off the downer. In the loss, Bam Adebayo had 21 points & 10 rebounds. Jimmy Butler had 19 points with 6 assists.
